Hello all, my first review for Fragrantica! I would like to say that I’m so grateful to all the beautiful people who have so generously shared their knowledge and expertise. I have quite a fragrance wardrobe now and I have all of you to thank for it. What a lovely, scented journey I’m on and I hope it never ends for any of us. Okay here goes……
Vintage pure parfum Jean Desses Celui
The opening for me is stunning, startling, and somewhat addictive. It’s full on salty ambergris lifted by gentle, waxy aldehydes. I then get a subtle hit of a dry, warm spice, perhaps cardamom? That note is not listed but cardamom is what I’m smelling. As the perfume warms on my skin, I start to get the beautiful, restrained florals warmed by civet. They are so exquisitely blended, it’s difficult for me to pick individual notes, but a dry and slightly powdery iris dominates all the floral notes. The florals are not at all overwhelmingly sweet and work as an integrated part of the whole perfume My skin amplifies all sweet notes to an intolerable degree, so this works perfectly for me. The ambergris, clean and salty, warm and animalic, never dissipates. This perfume is so wonderfully balanced. The leather note is smooth, subtle and beautiful. I find this scent to be dry, austere, restrained and beautifully, impossibly elegant. A black and white portrait of Anouk Aimee, if you will.
Thanks for reading.

Was given to me LONG ago by my then boyfriend… I loved and still love it .. but can seldom find it. When I have the price is prohibitive! It’s such a shame that it isn’t still being made!

Warm, animalic, salty, classic delight centred in ambergris. A treasure in my collection. I’m a really lucky girl.
